Sending the Otherworlders Away / Exiling Shirou's Ideals...
Even without reincarnation, all things strive to survive and reproduce. They either pass on their lives, or they pass on their spirit through words and deeds, or even sacrifice, so that it may be remembered by future generations. As long as they do these things, they are not truly gone.
Shirou now feels somewhat sorry for Ainz Ooal Gown; he's a pitiful person who has been controlled by the world he and his friends created.
Imagine an undead player who is passionate about their guild in a massively multiplayer online game. When the game shuts down, they are left alone in a world similar to the game, becoming neither human nor ghost, and playing role-playing games with a group of NPCs created by their friends.
Shouldn't what he enjoys most be playing games with friends, raiding dungeons, and participating in guild wars—the passion, youth, and friendship of those times?
How would his friends react if they saw him like this?
He was clearly just an ordinary person who loved his guild and was immersed in online games. He cherished his group more than anyone else and missed his guildmates, yet he became a skeleton all alone, his vital organs gone. How could he not become twisted and insane?
"Shut up! Shut up! High-ranking Necromancer! Wake up! My warriors, invade this world for me!" Ainz Ooal Gown was furious. He raised his staff high. It was a world-class item owned by his guild. Even without its special abilities, it was a top-tier weapon with the best attribute bonuses.
"Waaaaah..."
"Ahhh..."
At this moment, from the abyss, jet-black demons, liches, and death knights crawled out. This was the highest level of summoning True Magic, capable of summoning a fully-leveled undead army to assist in the battle.
Chapter 1125 Sending the Otherworldly Beings Away
With a gentle wave of his hand, Shirou summoned Valkyries with golden wings and beautiful faces. Their prototypes were the Valkyries from Odin's Hall of Heroes, guiding the heroes of the world after death into Hall of Heroes to fight with all their might against the prophesied Ragnarok.
The golden Valkyrie, wielding a bow, sword, and javelin, attacked the undead army. Each of them was stronger than the undead below, and with the advantage of elemental advantage, she effortlessly annihilated the undead army in the abyss.
"Damn it! Damn it! You bug! You cheater!" Ainz Ooal Gown roared in utter frustration and rage. If he had a face, his expression would be twisted like a skull right now.
"No, no, rather than a cheat, I'm actually a GM. Your online time has exceeded the normal limit, so we will be implementing anti-addiction measures and forcibly logging your account out." Shirou waved his hand at Ainz and said.
"Damn it! Since I can't kill you, then I'll make everyone die with me!" Ainz Ooal Gown chanted a spell at high speed, and multiple magic circles appeared around him. He was going to use a forbidden spell to summon meteors to indiscriminately bombard the planet.
"Enough! Your punishment has been decided. I'll strip you of your abilities, erase your memories, and send you to the hospital to learn how to be a human again." Shirou clenched his fist and threw a punch at Ainz Ooal Gown from a distance.
A gigantic, pure white, transparent fist appeared out of thin air in the sky, striking Ainz Ooal Gown head-on and shattering the numerous light arrays surrounding him.
"Ugh! Radiant Emerald Body!!" Ainz Ooal Gown quickly activated his Counterattack skill, a skill that could absolutely defend against one Counterattack-type attack. Green light enveloped Ainz Ooal Gown.
However, the defense was ineffective!
Shirou's punch was neither a physical attack nor a magical attack; it sent Ainz Ooal Gown flying into a white space.
"Whoaaaaah!!" Ainz Ooal Gown was immobilized in the white light.
With a single thought from Shirou, Ainz Ooal Gown's equipment began to turn to sand, disintegrating into white fluorescence, and the game system he relied on for dominance was being formatted bit by bit.
The in-game items in my inventory disappeared one by one.
The world-class item, Ainz Ooal Gown's staff, has also disappeared.
Shirou suppressed the King of the Undead Ainz Ooal Gown, banishing him from this world. Ainz Ooal Gown will lose his memories of being the King of the Undead and return to the world he was originally in as a human. He will reintegrate into society as an ordinary person by playing games all night, falling ill and being hospitalized midway through the game.
After seeing Ainz off, Shirou floated in the air, raised his arm, and released white divine Divine Power, which turned into white particles like falling snow, falling on the sunken abyss and gradually restoring the earth to its original state.
As Shirou repaired the earth, he flew towards Mikoto Misaka, who was leading the refugees to safety.
A seven-colored rainbow appeared in the sky, bringing comfort to those who had taken refuge underground and felt lost. Unbeknownst to them, the world would return to its former state.
Shirou arrived at a plaza and met up with Mikoto Misaka was leading the people to safety.
Because of Shokuhou Misaki, a psychic with the ability to manipulate minds, everything went very smoothly. In fact, she didn't need to brainwash and remotely control everyone; she only needed to give some psychological suggestions to a few people, which was enough to make everyone obediently stay here.
When Mikoto Misaka first saw Shirou, she was startled and exclaimed, "Wait! Are you alright, Shirou? Your hair..."
"It's alright, this is actually the norm here." Shirou chuckled and nodded, probably because he was prone to premature graying. (Monthly membership group 694936135)
"Hmph, you're still quite something, Mr. Shirou. You've repaired all the previous gaps, haven't you?" Shokuhou Misaki, relying on her spies positioned high above, watched everything Shirou had done and sighed as she spoke.
"Yes, that's why I went and obtained the corresponding power. Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki, thank you for your help. Leave the rest to me." Shirou thanked the two girls.
"Don't be shy, no one would stand by and watch someone die in that situation. But what do you plan to do next?" Mikoto Misaka asked Shirou, arms crossed.
"I plan to send everyone from other worlds back to their own worlds and then seal off the previous passage. Sorry, Mikoto, you originally wanted to come here for sightseeing, right?" Shirou explained his plan to the girl.
Mikoto Misaka expressed her understanding and nodded, saying:
"Well, if it's going to cause trouble for the people here, it's probably better to shut it down. It would be really bad if some bad guys got in here, and speaking of which, I have one right next to me right now."
"Oh dear, I've been helping out the whole time. So, small breasts mean small capacity too?"
"Who's small?! You're like a starry-eyed character from a shoujo manga!" Mikoto Misaka yelled in a fit of rage.
Then Shirou used the teleportation portal to bring one group of outsiders after another to him. He politely saw them off, and of course, if they were the type that could not be communicated with, he would simply throw them back and place them in front of the type they least wanted to see.
This time, two teenagers and a slime emerged from the portal.
The moment they walked through the portal of light, their attire and everything about them returned to how they had looked when they first arrived.
"Ahhh!!" Satou Kazuma yelled. His winnings, sunglasses, and clothes were all gone, and he was back in his adventurer's attire.
"Since you've already decided to go back, don't take these useless possessions with you. However, as compensation, I can grant you a small wish before I leave. You can stay here for a while if you want, but only before midnight," Shirou said.
"Tsk..." Satou Kazuma knew he couldn't beat Shirou, so he simply accepted his defeat. But as for his wish, he needed to think it over carefully. Hmm? Those two girls behind him were quite cute; if he wished to lose his virginity, could he choose one of them?
Beep!
Shokuhou Misaki pressed a button on the remote control.
Satou Kazuma immediately started tap dancing on the spot, kicking his legs so high it was almost like he was banging his head against them, and he couldn't stop.
"Whoa? What's wrong? What's wrong with me? Stop, stop!"
"What are you doing?" Mikoto Misaka asked, glancing at Shokuhou Misaki.
Shokuhou Misaki whispered a few words in Mikoto's ear.
"Haaah!" Mikoto Misaka's pretty face flushed red, and she immediately released an electric current in that direction.
Crackle!
"Aaaaaah!!" Satou Kazuma, his body charred black from the electric shock, collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face. What had he done to deserve this?
Chapter 1126 The Exile of Shirou's Ideal Banishment
On the rooftop of a tall building near the plaza, Shirou, now a god, opened a gate composed of several beams of white light, sending off the visitors who had come to this world back home.
"Then I'll go first." Rimuru, the Rimuru, jumped directly to the ground and bounced towards the portal to his own world.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Rimuru. If you have any small wishes, I can grant them for you right here," Shirou said.
"Hmm... no, not at all. If this were my original world, I might want to visit the juniors I saved and see if they have children yet. But since the worlds are different, I'll go back to my own world. Goodbye, Kazuma, eh~!"
"Goodbye, Rimuru- san~!"
So, what are your wishes?
"Yes, yes! I still have important companions I haven't found! Please tell me, where is my Emilia- tan?!" Natsuki Subaru excitedly raised his hand and said.
"Miss Emilia and Miss Aqua are at the Mountain Stone Kendo Hall now. You can see her by going through this door. Once you get there, walk through the portal to return to your own world. The deadline is before midnight tonight." Shirou waved his hand, opening a portal, and said to the boy.
"Ah, this is so convenient, thank you, Goddess. Let's go, partner." Natsuki Subaru smiled and pulled Satou Kazuma towards the door.
"Eh?! Wait! Hold on! I actually don't want to see that goddess. But... anyway, I've run out of money, so I'll just go back." Satou Kazuma said helplessly.
"Haha, don't be so unhappy, let's go! Emilia, I'm here~!" Natsuki Subaru shouted excitedly as he stepped into the portal.
"There really are all sorts of people from another world. That guy with the slicked-back hair is not bad," Mikoto Misaka said, arms crossed.
"No, no, the one after that is truly terrifying. I originally wanted to peek into his memories, but I felt a warning from an overwhelming obsession that seemed to pierce through the world, and I was so scared that I dared not look." Shokuhou Misaki patted her chest with lingering fear and jumped a few times.
Mikoto Misaka glanced at the blonde girl, her eyelids twitching for some reason.
At that moment, someone else came out of the next door.
"Hello." A handsome high school boy with short brown hair walked over and extended his hand to Shirou.
"Hello, thank you for coming all this way." Just as Shirou was about to shake his hand.
"Disappear, you damned god!" The brown-haired boy's shadow touched Shirou, and then Shirou seemed to be swallowed by the shadow, disappearing without a trace...
"Hey! What did you do?!" Mikoto Misaka watched helplessly as Shirou vanished without a trace.
"This uniform... are you from the same world as us?" Shokuhou Misaki asked, seemingly having never seen a boy's uniform before.
"It's nothing, I just banished him. This world doesn't need any gods. Our original world was chaotic enough, wasn't it? Railgun from Academy City, Mind Control Girl, oh." The brown-haired boy said calmly.
"Who exactly are you?" Mikoto Misaka asked warily. This inexplicable ability reminded her of a certain spiky-haired guy with a gloomy face.
"My name is Kamisato Shiro, and I'm a high school student from outside Academy City. Please rest assured, I have no intention of being hostile to you," Kamisato Shiro introduced himself in a very gentlemanly manner. He knew that he and the two girls might not be from the same timeline, so he simply introduced himself. Unless he was a major villain, he generally didn't lay a hand on girls.
He can get along relatively peacefully with girls who won't suddenly throw themselves at him. But if a girl falls for him after just one fight, he'll just have to turn around and run away.
Shokuhou Misaki smiled and tried to get closer to the boy, asking, "Oh, you're quite the gentleman! Now, can you answer another question for us? Where did you take Mr. Shirou just now?"
"Literally, I banished him."
Kamisato Shiro's Ideal Banishment doesn't require physical contact; it begins with the shadow cast by his own arm.
In other words, even if you grab his right hand, the parts that touch will still form a shadow, and you will still be affected. As long as you are touched by his shadow, you will be banished to a distant otherworld.
The primary condition for initiating the Ideal Banishment is the "repetition of desires".
As long as the person involved does not waver and adhere to a single path, the Ideal Banishment will react to everything related to that person.
Because most people are inherently contradictory; they possess both kindness and malice, with an angel residing within them and a devil within them.
While full of hope for everything, there are also contradictory thoughts. Often, when faced with major challenges in life, one feels shaken and stagnates.
For example, when taking out savings to make an investment, one is filled with a bright vision for the future, hoping to take a gamble, escape poverty, become rich, and enter the wealthy class.
However, if the investment fails, one could lose everything, ending up not even considered middle class anymore. After all, there's no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business, so it's natural to feel anxious.
When a person's inner desires are not firm enough, then the Ideal Banishment becomes possible.
Conversely, for those whose goals are always steadfast and unwavering, no matter what one does, the power of "exile" cannot be made effective.
Shirou wants to save the world and bring happiness to everyone, but this is impossible for everyone, because some people's happiness is conflicting, and some people's happiness even depends on the unhappiness of others. This leads to a vicious cycle.
Like the old man at the kendo dojo, he was dissatisfied with his comfortable and happy life, believing that a man who had not experienced the cruelty of life lacked responsibility.
But a cruel and brutal world can hardly be called a happy one.
Yes, at this moment, Shirou wavered. Even though he would punish the completely broken Ainz Ooal Gown, he still hoped that people like the Pheasant Head man and Shiba Tatsuya could also have the possibility of finding happiness.
At this moment, Shirou entered a dark world. He could no longer sense the coordinates of his original world, or even the objects around him, so he was unable to leave this world.
By the standards of a light novel protagonist, Kamisato Shiro isn't exactly a bad guy. If he sees someone in trouble, he won't turn a blind eye. Especially when the person is a woman, he'll do anything to save her.
The thing that Kamisato Shiro hates most is getting hurt by the girls around him. He would never sacrifice the girls around him, so in the event of Yuli be at the center, is often the first to stand on the front line.
Unbeknownst to him, he now had over a hundred girls around him.
Chapter 1127 Shirou in Another World
Kamisato Shiro hates his "peach blossom constitution," all because the demons arbitrarily granted him the "power of redemption." He was supposed to be just an ordinary high school boy, someone you could find anywhere.
Although he enjoys comics and video games, he's not an expert; he watches movies frequently but can't name any French films that no one has ever heard of; he listens to music but has never been to a concert.
I hope to practice my singing so I can liven up the atmosphere at karaoke. My grades are just average, and I have a crush on a girl in my class, but I don't dare to confess even after graduation.
This applies to all aspects of life: wide range of interests, but no expertise in anything. A short attention span, but never sticking to anything.
But fate played a cruel joke on him, allowing a demon to target him and grant him the ability to Ideal Banishment. Essentially, this ability is similar to Touma Kamijou's Imagine Breaker, both being products of a demon's wish coming true. The effect is to banish anyone who believes, "This world is imperfect, and if a better world exists, I'd like to go there."
However, because of this power that appeared in his hands, in less than a month, 100 girls actually came to his side. Even the girl he had a crush on before inexplicably became part of his harem. But that was not the kind of romance he longed for!
Something must be wrong. The life I, an ordinary person, should be living isn't like this.
In the original world, Kamisato Shiro decided to go to Academy City to take revenge on the demons, and his ability to Ideal Banishment was unexpectedly powerful.
It may seem that as long as one has a firm will, one will not be banished. In reality, neither humans nor demons can maintain a firm will forever. There will always be times when one wavers in their choices.
But his revenge had only just begun and was far from over when he was drawn into this world.
This world has no espers like those in Academy City, no True Magic, no Primal Stones, Kamisato Shiro actually quite likes it here because it's ordinary enough, which is perfect for an ordinary high school boy like him.
However, a bunch of strange characters appeared in this world, Kamisato Shiro realized that the fact that he had been drawn into a completely different world was unusual enough.
It's all because of this damn trait. (Monthly fee group: 694936135)
During his time living here, Kamisato Shiro encountered rampaging monsters, which he drove away. In the process, he also discovered a spatial passage, which disappeared when he touched it.
When Kamisato Shiro encountered these spaces again, he tried to banish them, and to his surprise, he succeeded.
Ultimately, the spatial passage here arose from the power of the white deity and the collective consciousness of humanity—a kind of ideal.
After that, Kamisato Shiro banished all the spatial rifts he saw. Ordinary is best; a normal world doesn't need so many fantastical creatures causing trouble. He wanted to banish all the passages and drive away all the strange beings, allowing the world to return to its usual, ordinary state.
And then... this world doesn't need any god to save everything.
